This November, we invite you to join us on a journey of gratitude. Gratitude shifts our perspective, grounds us in hope, and reminds us that even in challenging times, there is always something to give thanks for. So for 30 days, let’s pause together—just for a moment each day—to notice the blessings in our lives and give God all the praise.

Beginning Saturday, November 1 and continuing through Sunday, November 30, we’ll share daily posts filled with scripture, inspiration, and reflections on thankfulness. As we walk through this month together, may we grow in gratitude, see God’s hand in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life, and experience how giving thanks can transform us from the inside out.

Be sure to follow our Facebook page so you don’t miss a day—and let’s make this month a shared journey of lifting our hearts in thanks to the One who is so worthy of praise.

We’re deeply thankful for Pastor Linda Grenz and our friends at Crossroads Assembly of God. Pastor Linda has been a faithful Life INC teacher and a consistent source of encouragement to our team in Sturgis. Her heart for transformation shines through her vision to launch a recovery house—offering those stepping out of addiction a renewed path toward stability and hope through the love of Christ. This kind of Kingdom-minded initiative reflects the very heart of Love INC: mobilizing churches to transform lives and communities in the name of Christ. We’re praying for Pastor Linda and the Crossroads community as they continue to be a light in Sturgis.

We’re grateful to Ace Hardware for their continued support as a banquet sponsor in past years. Their partnership helps us live out the mission of Love INC—mobilizing local churches to transform lives and communities in the name of Christ. We pray that Ace Hardware remains a strong ally in serving the Sturgis community with compassion and purpose.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, our storage unit is FULL—and now we need your help to turn these donations into transformation! At Love INC, we believe in restoring dignity and offering a hand up, not just a handout. One way you can help is by making a referral.

Do you know someone who’s getting established and could use a bed, a couch, or a dining room set? Through our Work-2-Earn program, they can earn a roomful of furniture by completing just six hours of community service—empowering them to contribute and receive with dignity. Call us at 605-206-3515 and we’ll be happy to share the details. Together, we can partner to meet needs and transform lives!

A big thank you to everyone who came out to support the Alliance of Churches Chili Feed! The event raised an incredible $3,500 to help meet local needs in our community. Love INC was honored to host a table and connect with so many generous neighbors. Your support makes a real difference—thank you!

but a person of understanding draws it out.” — Proverbs 20:5 (CSB)

At Love INC, we believe that transformation happens through relationships. If you—or someone you know—are seeking to grow in your walk with Christ or need support navigating life’s challenges, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Dear Friend,

As autumn settles in and we enter a season of reflection and gratitude, we are reminded of the power of community and the calling to love our neighbors well. At Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC), we witness every day how lives are transformed when people feel seen, valued, and supported.

This fall, we invite you to be part of our Give Thanks; Give Back campaign — a movement rooted in the belief that you are loved, you belong, you have choices, and you have something to offer. These are not just words; they are the foundation of how we serve our neighbors in Sturgis and beyond.

Your gift helps us walk alongside individuals and families facing challenges — whether it's a single mom whose child needs clothes for school, or a neighbor seeking guidance to build a sustainable budget. Through your generosity, we connect people to resources, relationships, and renewed hope.

Every dollar you give is a tangible expression of Christ’s love. Whether it’s $20, $50, $100, or more, your support helps us affirm the dignity of those we serve and remind them they are not alone.

We believe that when we give thanks, we are also called to give back. You can make your tax-deductible gift today by visiting loveinconline.com/donate or by returning the enclosed envelope.

Together, let’s ensure that every neighbor knows they are loved, valued, and part of a caring community. Thank you for being a vital part of this mission.

With heartfelt gratitude in the name of Christ,

Sean
